These sensations usually subside within a few weeks. You'll get used to the added volume and won't pay much attention to it after a while. In the case of lip fillers, you probably won't feel them when you press your lips together. Kissing should also feel pretty normal after fillers.
Lumpiness is very common to feel in your skin in the days after injection of dermal filler into the face, including the upper lip body and the cheeks and the chin area and along wrinkles and folds when injected to lift these. It will usually resolve within a couple of weeks.
You will be able to feel the filler under your skin for a couple of weeks, and these bumps can sometimes be seen as well. However they are not permanent. As with the springs inside a mattress – the thicker and harder the support system is – the more you can feel the springs when you lie down on it.
Overall, the side effects of injectables are relatively minor (one of the reasons why injectables have become so popular). Common effects from filler include bruising, swelling, redness, or tenderness around the injection site, all of which will resolve after a few days to a week.
Cheek fillers are one that can be somewhat firm, but not hard. Patients often ask before or after their injections, “Will cheek filler soften?” The answer is almost always yes.
Generally, any lumps or bumps that appear after fillers will disappear on their own within one to two weeks.
The filler can take several weeks to soften and settle into your skin. This means that patients won't see the ultimate results of their treatment immediately. Although individual results will vary, many people achieve the full effect within two weeks after receiving their injections.
The Results Improve Over Time
Even as the hyaluronic acid is processed by your body, healthy collagen and elastin grow at a more significant rate. This means you will see initial improvement nearly immediately. They will improve over six to eight weeks.
Once dermal fillers are injected around your face, the volume of your facial features increases instantly. This means you can see a difference in your appearance as soon as you finish the treatment. However, it can take between two to four weeks for the dermal filler to fully set in.
Treating with 1ml at a time is certainly appropriate for some areas, such as volumising lips or having smaller tweakments into other areas of the face. Sometimes, however, more than 1ml may be required – in the cheeks, for example – as 1ml may not make a discernible difference.
The treated area will feel different after your injections. It will likely seem fuller than usual due to the presence of the filler and post-treatment swelling. Some tenderness is also to be expected, particularly when the cheeks and temples have been injected. These sensations usually subside within a few weeks.
Don't get a facial, massage, or microdermabrasion
Although extremely rare, dermal fillers are able to migrate within the skin if consistent and adequate pressure is applied to them.
This filler works naturally, much like the hyaluronic acid your body already produces. Because it works this way, it takes two to three weeks to fully settle into your skin. This means that while you'll see an immediate improvement, you won't see your final results right away.
Feeling a lump of any kind can be quite a nerve-wracking experience, mainly if you're not used to aesthetic treatments or if it is your first time. Not to worry though, lumps following a filler treatment are completely normal. The lumps you may experience are often caused by swelling and bruising of the treated area.
Hard and tender lumps suggest that your body might have reacted to the filler. A mild allergic reaction can be sorted out quickly and easily by a prescription of steroids, which our aesthetic medical professional can provide you with. This prescription is available at most pharmacies.
There are also occasions where patients who get fillers frequently do not respond as well to the same filler since the injected tissues start to develop channels, swelling or firmness. For instance, Radiesse can form tissue tracks after as little as 3 serial treatments.
Swelling is completely normal after your procedure, so don't freak out if your cheeks look "bigger" or more lifted than you intended. Swelling can distort the shape, so give yourself about five days for the volume to settle before you assess your filler.
What should I do if I have lumps after my filler treatment? Fortunately, lumps can be treated easily. The first thing is massaging the area. The more you massage the better it will look.
Fillers are highly effective in volumizing and lifting the aging face, as well as reducing deeper lines. Many people find fillers helpful in their thirties or forties, but younger people may benefit from fillers when used to enhance the features of their youthful face. Fillers can produce excellent results at any age.
So how many years younger can dermal fillers make you look? Dermal fillers can actually reduce perceived age by 5 to 10 years. By eliminating facial wrinkles and restoring fullness to the skin, this injectable solution can erase years off your face in no time.
Stopping Fillers Is Fine – When Done Correctly
As you would expect, poor work can have poor results, and in some cases, these results can be lasting. Even after the fillers dissolve, your skin might not be the same. Chances are slim this is the case for you, so don't feel anxious about it.
Your lip filler treatment should produce immediately visible results. Your lips should look plump and voluminous from the moment you step out of the operation room. However, it is true that it takes up to four weeks for results to fully develop and settle.
Some fillers, such as Sculptra, are designed to stimulate collagen production in the skin, which can lead to long-lasting results. These fillers may be more susceptible to breakdown if they are massaged or manipulated too much after the treatment.
In most cases, when the filler wears off, the face will return to its normal appearance. That means if you got the filler to eliminate wrinkles, they would reappear; the areas that experience volume loss will lose that volume again.
